Maya Noren, owner and baker at butter + sugar

hello!

My gluten-free story

I’m Maya and I’m the owner and baker at butter + sugar. I have been baking GF for nearly 14 years, ever since my son was diagnosed with Celiac in early 2010. I’ve been where so many of you are— completely overwhelmed by a Celiac diagnosis. In our first months of going GF, I spent hours upon hours researching brands and their gluten-free status. Grocery shopping became a multiple-hour event as I read and re-read labels. I never left the house without a snack and back-up snack for my son, and I fretted over every decision I made when it came to food for my family.

Fast-forward to now, and I am here to say… it gets easier. You can still enjoy food. You can still go to restaurants. You can still travel. Things may take a bit more planning, but a Celiac or gluten-allergy diagnosis does not mean the end of the world. I promise.

Let me help you. I started butter + sugar to share both my undeniably delicious GF baked goods and my GF knowledge with others. I want to help you feel more comfortable as you make the transition to GF either for yourself or for a loved one. I want to bring food experiences back to you and I want you to see that the world is still your gluten-free oyster.
